Castles · Tour
Bought by the Family in 1832, and Both Castle Tours Are Optional
Ratings collected by Viator and Tripadvisor
MunichA coach across the Bavarian countryside, mountains and villages on the way, to the two castles that belonged to Ludwig II: Hohenschwangau, which was his family's, and Neuschwanstein, which was his own. Both are now UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
What the price covers depends on which option you book. The coach, the parking and the English-speaking guide are included either way. The castle admissions are in the price only on the option sold with entrance fees; book the other one and you pay for the interiors yourself, with tickets for both castles sold on the coach. The two castle tours stay optional in both cases: one, both, or neither.
Between the two there is free time, for a restaurant, for the shops, and for the walk to the Marienbrücke when the weather allows it.
